exerting my vigorous sovereignty being stuck in traffic at the tunnel for three hours
In the more rural parts of america you're about as sovereign as the gas money in your wallet is going to take you. And how many miles you have on your automobile, heaven forbid it's an expensive european import that costs and arm and a leg to fix. I honestly think people had more freedom of movement in the past via horse travel and camping outside wasn't punishable with jail time.
Explaining the complex, delicate interplay between modes of transportation and the thematic freedom given by owning a motor vehicle to the person stuck behind me in bumper to bumper gridlock which lasts for 2 hours
How exactly are poor as fuck bicycling hippies the 'expert' class? These people would really have you believe that poor helpless people are controlling the world.
It's hard to find something that feels more like freedom than shifting your weight, taking one step, and feeling your direct kinetic energy input being smoothly converted into 20-30 times the horizontal movement you would get out of a single pace. And all at no cost, except maybe 5 cents worth of oil per month.
I got my bike fixed last week and it's made such a massive difference to my physical and mental health it's crazy
anyone who thinks that bikes are a loss of sovereignty has never ridden a bike
Probably the most liberating moment of my life, prior to graduating college, was the day I got my first bicycle. They're just orders of magnitude more efficient than walking. They're functionally all-terrain. They're free to operate, easy to use, and dirt-cheap to maintain. Possibly man's most perfect invention. I Love Bike.
human agency is when your only source of food is on the other side of an 8 lane highway
Why yes, I am a bike lane communist grass bagging hippie dicksuck, get on the train liberal :gigachad:
The elites are actually just people who ride bikes. It definitely is not the automotive and oil industries
Stuck in 4 hours of traffic on a 47 lane highway, slowly dying as monoxide fumes leak in "Fuck Yeah Freeedooom!"
Roads are oppression. All vehicles must be offroad capable. Tanks are the most sovereign vehicle. After all, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
I'll gladly ride the train or bus with my fellow grass bagging dicksuck hippy friends.
Why do cishet men like this always imply sucking dick is bad?
That's a rhetorical question. :volcel-police:
muh toxic masculinity thinking that anything not straight is bad
I mean some of these clowns literally don't wash their own asses because putting your hand back there is apparently gay, so probably not very positive.
This nerd is forgetting that this change is gonna happen regardless of how much he complaints on Twitter, there isn't enough lithium or cobalt mines to supplie everyone with a cheap electric car full stop. In no time at all we will learn the lesson of what happens when you build entire country around cars and cars stop being affordable? Anyways..
Most Americans are physically incapable of realizing that there is a horizon to car ownership that is fast approaching. A world without cars might as well be a post apocalypse they're so used to having them around - it's like if the sky turned a different color.
The whiplash will be legendary, I figure what they might try is sectioning parts of the suburban sprawl then say in x years utilities get cut we will pay you to move to apartment in downtown, give you extra cash if you sell your cars get down to just one.
Welcome to night city. :cyber-lenin:
Welcome to night city.
i ain't your average sicko :sicko-pig:
I'm dead just like disco :party-sicko:
my bank acount is zero zero zero (oh no) :stonks-down:
I think I need a hero :back-to-me-shining:
I don't have no ego because (nah) I'm spinnin out (wooh) :cat-vibing:
I was a teenager outlaw with no worries on my minddddd. :duck-dance:
Im now geting older my heart is growing colder all the time :pathetic:
If Mad Max has shown us anything, it's easier to imagine the end of the ecosystem and the slow death of humanity than the end of cars.
I want to believe the ruling class understands this buuuut....
oh boy, somebody should tell this guy about all the limiting of human agency that cars create but he's probably too busy making up weird words like "dicksucks"
And then he'll tell you your just mad that democracy isn't working in your favor.
Bikes are one of the few modes of transportation that'll work after a nuclear apocalypse lmao.
